Dymot Engineering Co. (Pty) Ltd.

Company Profile

Dymot Engineering commenced trading as a job shop in 1968 and the first winches were designed and built in 1975. The company now offers a full range of standard power and manually operated winches, winching systems and allied equipment.

Dymot’s area of expertise is winches for conveyor tensioning applications. Our Automatic Take-Up Systems are widely used in the mining industry and involve using electric winches, strain gauges and programmable electronic controllers to control the start up and running tensions on any conveyor. These systems are extensively used underground where the conventional gravity tensioning systems are difficult to accommodate. There are currently over 200 systems operating both underground and overland.

Our Safety Hand Winch range employs an automatic clamping and ratchet type brake that is never disengaged thus ensuring complete safety when raising or lowering a load. These winches are designed to conform to British standard 3701.

All winches are tested and issued with test certificates. Our test equipment is calibrated by the SABS to National Standards. Dymot has full traceability of all components through our in house QA system, which is based on SABS 0157.

Winch hire is also available through Dymot, we have a range of Electric, Hydraulic Diesel Powered and Hand Winches available.

Take-Up WinchesThe Dymot range of power take-up winches have been specially developed for use on long overland and underground conveyors and are ideally suited for use with automatic tensioning systems.

Hand WinchesThe new Dymot range of Heavy Load Safety Winches have been specially developed to eliminate the danger found on normal ratchet held loads in hand winches.

SheavesDymot manufactures & supplies a full range of sheaves to suit rope diameters of 6Ø to 42Ø.
